PET SPOTLIGHT
Loretta
Loretta likes to sleep in cat beds and play quietly. Being a shy kitty, she is often overlooked by folks coming to adopt because they may not see her and she is not in the habit of seeking people out for attention. But beautiful Loretta is not to be missed! She is a friendly, gentle girl that minds her own business, and isn't demanding. Being a young girl she still has her curious kitten nature and is thrilled to find small coil toys that she can bat around endlessly. Loretta and her sibs came to the shelter as kittens and one by one got adopted, leaving Loretta still looking for the right person. This sweet girl needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms. Perhaps that's you?
Description: White, dark grey, black. Easy to care for short coat.
Age: approx 3 years of age.
Likes: Playing with small coil toys. Having her neck scratched and face petted.
Needs: Probably needs a quiet home with no small children. She currently doesn’t like a lot of handling and is not really a snuggler. However, may blossom into a social cat with the right family.

This cute fella and his sibs, Petunia, Ellie May and TJ were born 5-29-25 to Kissy Poo and are now ready for forever homes. Angus and sibs are sweet, playful, energetic kittens that will enjoy lots of toys, interactive play with their person (or other fur sibs) and receiving loving snuggles, petting and brushing.

Becky
Becky is a sweet, shy, pretty girl about two-years old. She has a soft, calico coat with lots of white, dark orange and black coloring.

Becky is a bit skittish, but is a sucker for a good chin scratching. Her tail was broken at least twice, so the nerves are understandable. She likes small toys to bat around and a flat scratching pad to work her claws. Given her shyness, she would probably do best in a quieter household. Becky eats what she’s given, but prefers dry Hill’s Science Diet.

Little Frances is a survivor! A kind woman brought a kitten about 14 hours old to the shelter on 4/22/25. Momma cat had 4 kittens late 4/21/25, moved 3, left this kitten behind.
